Exploring the darkest side of organizations may have a potential to
change our previous assumptions about business life. Scholars both
in management and organizational research fields have shown
interest in the "bright" side of behavioral life and have looked
for the ways to create a positive organizational climate and
assumed a positive relation between happiness of employees and
productivity. These main assumptions of the Human Relations School
have dominated the scientific inquiry on organizational behavior.
However, "the dark side of organizational life" may have more
explanatory power than "the bright side". Hostility, jealousy,
envy, rivalry, gossip, problematic personalities, dislike, revenge,
and social exclusion are the realities of business life. A manager
may devote most of their time to cope with conflicts, deviant
behaviors, ambitious individuals, gossips, and dysfunctional
rivalry among employees. It is evident that negative events and
interactions among employees cost more time and energy for a
manager than the positive side of organizational life. This edited
collection specifically focuses on these issues and will be of
interest to researchers, academics, and advanced students in the
fields of management, organizational studies and behavior,
sociology, social psychology, and human resource management.
